You know, this is the same thing that happened in 2003. People forget that a low fed funds rate is mainly stimulative to equities. Look at the 93.9 percent rally in 1932. From open market operations by the fed. That is what bernanke is planning, read some of his speeches. He is also planning a 40% devaluation of the dollar. There's a short for you.
funny how media are great indicator. and yet people overwhelmed by emotions so cant see it. fear and greed, simple drivers of peoples actions. Simple&effective business model of pump and dump in true spirit of capitalism. time to go?
Regarding rigged markets, ZH did a great article today showing how the QE has effectively gone right into the market: http://www.zerohedge.com/article/correlation-sp-500-performance-fed-monetization-activities-start-qe
this policy response (qe) is similar to 3rd world countries. increase the money supply results inlittle if any increase in economic activity. the currency goes down but the stock market goes up as an inflation hedge no surprise.
